Black Lives Matter: Race & Power in Philanthropy and Development
Segal Family Foundation sponsored #FutureSummit2020, “…a space where we invite our diverse global community of change leaders to deconstruct and reshape trends in Africa from all angles.” It was a great honor for me to join this panel with Degan Ali, African Development Solutions; Lori Adelman, Global Fund for Women; and Marie-Rose Romain Murphy, Economic Stimulus Projects for Work and Action in Haiti. It was recorded on October 1st. (It’s all good, but FYI I start around 34 minutes.)
“The Dissonance”
What an honor! Jennifer Lentfer and Joan Okitoi “perform” my chapter, “The Dissonance,” a (mis)communication between an international donor and a “local” grantee, from the book, Smart Risks: How Small Grants are Helping to Solve Some of the World’s Biggest Problems. It is their kick off to #GlobalDev Communicators Connect, a monthly meeting hosted by to support people responsible for external communications in international aid and philanthropy to connect to each other, and to reconnect to our sense of “play” and creativity within our work in the sector.

The Militarization of Palestinian Aid
When I was still with Aid Watch Palestine, I co-authored an article with Alaa Tartir about the militarization of Palestinian aid. It was published by Reality of Aid and IBON International here and in Arabic here. It was a great honor to have the issue picked up by The Real News Network, whose wonderful Shir Hever interviewed me about the issues. It is 14:46 in English with a transcript of the interview here. Please share if you find it useful, and please comment below or on TRNN so we can get discussion about this critical issue going.
